i want to start with land-use committee on january 28. the land-use committee had an amendment to the code commonly called the condo-lottery ordinance, sponsored by supervisor farrell and cosponsored by supervisor wiener. i would like to give you a quick overview of the law. it is limited to no more than 200 conversions per year through a lottery process. to qualify occupants must live in the unit for more than three years. the 2012-13 lottery participants can bypass the 2014 lottery if they pay a $20,000 fee. a reduction of the fee by 20% for every year the building has participated in the lottery but has not been successful. where tenants to take the opportunity of a lifetime lease additional refunds can be granted. this is a basic summary of the proposal. supervisors farrell and wiener expressed their concern about opportunities for homeownership in the city in this ordinance represents a reasonable balance of goals increasing homeownership by increasing tenant protection with lifetime lease. the lottery bypass is around a decade only.
